Nord skinny? lol come on man that's just silly as is the whole theory about fitting in a mix. As has already been mentioned, the Nord's actually a lot closer to vintage analog, some would clearly choose it over an 8000 including me. The 8000's about the same in the thickness department, and has a plastic sound that many wouldn't find cool.
